Hot-Diggity-Dog Burgers

This is the last entry for 2012 Burger-of-the-Week… Bummer, I know, but what better concoction than the two numero uno grilled “meats” of the summer months?  The answer is a perfect patty incorporating hotdogs and cheeseburgers....

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

In need of a sit-down family meal?  Give this recipe a go.  Takes some time to prep in addition to the cooking time, but the stuffed chicken breasts over wild rice topped with a creamy mushroom sauce is worth it.  Serve Broccoli & Cauliflower...

Strawberry Galette

Crisp, fried basil sounds weird.  It’s sugar coated, so believe me it’s splendid as an edible garnish.  My suggestion, after taking this photo (& tasting it)… be certain to add a generous serving of the basil cream to each...

Curried Turkey Burger

You either like curry… or you don’t.  This burger is for those who do.  Just another  take on grilled ground meat.  Intensely flavored with the elements that make curry so unique.

Peach Trifle w/Lemon Mousse

Once again, my Mother whipped this recipe up.  I was fortunate to partake in the inhaling of  the result when visiting her and my father.   I say inhale, because I, along with them, devoured our portions.  Easy to assemble.  Just have to give...

Basil-Booze Slush

Big basil fan?  Than this is your cocktail.  A refreshing icy treat is the result, when pureed along with the orange-honey undertones of Lillet, a bit of vodka, sugary simple syrup, lemon juice and ice.

Sky-Hi-Chocolate Pie

A true “sky-high” pie!  Directions seem lengthy, but it’s the chilling that takes some time. I recommend chilling overnight, maybe even two nights.    Be certain to fold gently so as to keep the mousse light and fluffy.

Em Palmer

If you enjoy an Arnold Palmer, then for certain you’ll want to sip the spiked Em Palmer.  A lemon and tea mixture combining a little gin and limoncello over ice, provide a chilled brew on a warm afternoon.
